It was December 22nd and Hinata stood in Konoha's cemetery looking at the headstone with her families name engraved on it. The six-year-old often visited her mother's grave whenever she was feeling sad or wanted to talk to her. 3 years have passed since the incident and Hinata has only grown stronger. Last year the fourth Hokage declared her as a child prodigy when she single handedly took down two jonin. Her father asked him not to tell anyone for he wanted his daughter to attend the academy and become a ninja at her own pace. Minato agreed but decided to keep her file with Itachi Uchiha's and Sakura Haruno's along with all the other Prodigy's the hidden leaf has seen.

"You must be the Hyuga Prodigy? Am I right?" Someone said behind her. The girl turned around and wiped a tear away.

"If that's what you know me as then yes..." She said quietly. The pink haired girl smiled and extended her hand.

"I'm Sakura Haruno! I read your file! It's quite interesting." She said.

"It's nice to meet you...." Hinata said shaking the other girls hand.

"Obito sensei is waiting for me at the book shop would you like to join me?" She said. Hinata had heard that name before. Her eyes widened as she remembered why that name was so familiar.

"You are student to a Uchiha??" Hinata said in surprise. Sakura laughed and grabbed her hand.

"Whys that a surprise?" She said as she pulled Hinata out of the cemetery gates.

"I don't know it's just...." Hinata stopped walking which caused the other girl to spin around and look at her.

"I don't look like much but Hokage-sama has let me go on 2 s-class missions so far... And I'm only 6...." the girl said. Hinata looked at her.

"Aren't you gonna be late to meet Uchiha-san...." Hinata said. Sakura smiled and started to lead the way. Hinata smiled to herself following the girl through the streets. They turned a couple corners and walked past thousands of staring faces. Slowly but surely they made it to the book shop.

"And here we are... that odd.... he's not here yet..." Sakura said looking around.

"Kid I'm right here..." The man said. Sakura smiled and looked at Hinata.

"This is Hinata Hyuga!" She said. Hinata looked at the man in a ANBU uniform. He smiled down at her and waved his hand to the side.

"Heyo Miss Hyuga!" He said politely. "So you decided to be friends with pinky here did ya? Watch out with her!"

"Sensei!" She whined looking at the man. He smiled at her and ruffled her hair.

"Let's get the books you need and get going to my meeting okay squirt?" he said.

"Hai sensei!" she said looking to Hinata as Obito walked into the shop. "Come on don't be shy! We are friends now right?"

"Right..." Hinata whispered just loud enough for Sakura to hear. The two girls walked inside and searched for their older friend.

"This is a shinobi shop! You kids have no business in here!" the old shop keeper yelled. She looked as if she was no younger the 90. Her hair was white and in a low bun that sagged from the weight of her thick hair. She slowly walked to the girls and narrowed her dark eyes at them.

"We are just looking for our sensei... He's a member of the ANBU. He just came in..." Hinata spoke up.

"You girls are no older then 7... How do you have a teacher who is a member of ANBU?" the woman said.

"We are 6 ma'am..." Sakura said. Just then Hinata spotted Obito across the store looking at something. She slowly lifted her hand to touch Sakura's shoulder.

"He's there..." she pointed. The old woman looked in the direction she was pointing. Obito turned his attention away from the self he was currently looking at and smiled to the girls.

"Sorry miss... Are they causing trouble?" he said as he approached them.

"Not at all..... Sorry to hold up your students Uchiha-san." she said looking at Obito.

"Its no problem... I'd like to buy these." he said holding up two books and showing them to her. She happily rang it up. Obito paid the amount due and the three walked out of the shop.

"So will you except Hinata as your student sensei!" Sakura smiled happily as she skipped beside her new friend.

"She'll have to prove herself. I personally think it would be interesting to see you two train together." Obito said to the 6 year old as she gazed up at him. Hinata was silently following them. Not saying a word and trying to ignore the people staring at them.

"What do ya say Hinata! Wanna join my team?" Sakura asked looking at the girl as she played with her fingers.

"Sounds fun.." she said. Sakura lit up and hugged to shorter girl.

"Yay!!!" she squeaked. Hinata was surprised by the sudden embrace but hugged her back.

"Great! We start training early every morning! 5 am sharp at training ground 13. We can start tomorrow if you want?" Obito said smiling at them. Sakura let go of Hinata and turned to her sensei.

"Okay." Hinata said. Sakura squeaked again.

"This I gonna be so fun!" she said.

"Okay squirt calm down.. We still have to go to my meeting." Obito said. Hinata raises a eyebrow. She was curious about who he would be meeting with.

"Who you meeting with?" Sakura said. Obito laughed at her speech. She still hasn't fully grasped her how to talk in full sentences yet.

"Lord 4th... He wants me to meet with him in approximately...." he checked his watch. A look of panic washed over his face. "Six minutes."

"Ugh sensei...." Sakura sighed in annoyance.

"Don't worry Uchiha-san... I know a way to get you to the office fast." Hinata smiled. Obito looked at her and raised his eyebrow.

"How are you gonna do that huh?" Sakura said. Hinata put her hands in front of her and did the hand sign for tiger. She focused her chakra into her feet and took off running. Sakura and Obito exchanged looks.

"She's good right sensei!" Sakura said happily before copying her friend and taking off. Obito smiled and followed after the two six-year-olds.
